Not sure - raised it with Andy directly when he asked for comments - but it was not going to be fixed as it was "works for me" (booting failures) - this being him. And, as you know he was very against Qi printing anything informative to the user as it would take time and Qi was about speed, not "correctness" - my impression based on Andy's comments.
As far as I am aware its not maintained, though Andy did say he hoped he would be able to do so - I just checked the OM wiki page for it and see that there is a new download directory, but no information about progress other than "approaching release". I am still wary of wasting time trying it because the wiki still says "A short press on the power button is enough to make Qi start booting. In a few seconds the backlight will be lit, but the kernel will not spew any console messages unless something is wrong. It may take up to 2 minutes (depends on distribution) until X is started during which there will be no visual feedback. Please be patient." - that is just plain broken from a user perspective and in my case, wasted time as it didnt always reliably start when pressing the powerbutton. Why am I so negative - lost an important call when the FR didnt boot when it should have - due to Qi. I am just not prepared to stare at the FR for in excess of 2 minutes to see if it boots before getting on with life. The wiki suggests looking for the backlight ... what a joke, ever tried doing that in daylight/real life?
